The statuette and the commentary

bktheirregularNot that people read this, but...
I see that a commentary about a statuette (which statuette has me shaking my head thinking "did the people who greenlighted this get a bad batch of crack?") has degenerated into a flame war, with commentary that if it took place in a grade school playground, would end up with people getting soap bars crammed into their mouths.
Now, anonymous commentary may be one thing - it was used to great effect in the American Revolution, and the Federalist Papers were published under a pseudonym - but when someone hides under a cloak of anonymity and spams the LJs of friends in order to impugn their intelligence and call them vicious names (which I'm not even going to try and reconstruct here)?
That's something else.
It's cowardice, physical, mental, and moral.
That's right, mister troll, whoever you are. I'm calling you stupid, I'm calling you a coward, and if you ever read this, I'm calling you out.
